      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Random Blocks (one per group): Patients will be divided into two groups, probiotic (case) and placebo (control ). The division of selected subjects will be done randomly in blocks of study using quadrilateral blocks. The division of selected subjects will be done in randomized blocks using six rows of four blocks (ABAB-BABA-ABBA-BAAB-AABB-BBAA). probiotic capsule (A) and placebo group (B). In this way, different scenarios are written on six cards and will be thrown into a bag and 60 cards will be written out of the bag for 15 times, and the order will be written in a sheet, Blinding description: Drugs and placebo are in the same packaging at the Barij Essence pharmaceutical company . Only the code is written on the packages. Patients and physician do not know the type of drug and after analyzing the data, packet codes are decoded.</study_design>
